Mingyue was a little surprised, and she decided to follow Alros to the Cloud Island floating above the hotel to see what was going on.
Alros lifted up Mingyue and placed her on his shoulders. Then she raised her head and looked at the Cloud Island in the sky.
The Cyclops stood up and took a light step. Her figure swayed for a moment, and the next second, when her feet landed, they had already appeared on the Cloud Island.
Mingyue looked at everything in front of her in surprise. The clouds here could actually condense into substance, and the flocks of sheep were jumping in the clouds as if they were walking in the air.
"Why are you here? I was just about to go down to look for you."
Kulback came over with a bag in his hand, from which came bleating and mooing sounds.
Speaking of this, Alros became a little angry. "You just parked the cloud above the hotel. Such a large cloud will affect the normal operation of the hotel."
Kulbak scratched his head, "Oh, I just thought it would be more convenient to stop here so I can go down and find you guys. Then I'll drive Cloud Island further away?"
Alros urged, "Of course! Hurry up!"
Kulbak didn't hesitate. He immediately squatted down, patted the clouds beneath him, and then blew the whistle.
As the whistle sounded, the clouds slowly moved.
Mingyue asked Alros to put her down from his shoulders. She ran to the edge of the clouds and looked down. She found that the clouds had left the top of the inn and began to move to the east.
“You can make the clouds sit there.”
Mingyue pointed to the open space southeast of the hotel, which was very close to the haunted house.
When the clouds slowly approached the position pointed by Mingyue, Kulbak blew a whistle again, making the clouds stop at the position designated by Mingyue.
After the clouds stopped, Mingyue continued to look at the Cloud Island curiously. On the Cloud Island, a flock of sheep lowered their heads and nibbled on something on the clouds. As they ate, the wool on the sheep began to grow wildly until it expanded to a certain size. A cloud split out and merged back into the clouds.
Mingyue walked closer and found a white plant growing on the clouds. She used magic to determine that the plant was non-toxic, then picked one and held it in her hand to examine it.
At this time, a lamb poked its head over and deliberately ate the plant in Mingyue's hand.
After eating, the lamb stared at the bright moon with its small black eyes.
??
Yishen: Keep picking, don’t stop.
Mingyue smiled. She grabbed the naughty lamb, held it in her arms, and pinched its fluffy wool.
The feel is surprisingly good, the wool is fluffy and soft, and it feels as gentle as if you are inserting your fingers into the clouds.
The lamb wasn't used to being held and struggled a bit. Mingyue put it down and whispered in its ear, "Naughty lambs will be caught and eaten."
Lamb: ∑(O_O；)
Seeing that Mingyue liked the lamb very much, Kulbak asked, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"No need." Mingyue rubbed the lamb's head and watched it jump back to the flock.
She turned to look at Kulbak, "Excuse me, do you need help herding the sheep?"
Kulbak: "Huh?"
------
"You said that you want the people from underground to come to Cloud Island to help herd sheep?" Kulbak repeated what he understood.
Mingyue nodded. "Yes, you can treat it as some special hobby of humans. They like to relax by interacting with small animals and nature. You can open up only a small area as a place like a ranch cafe, and after purchasing, you can provide free feeding services, grooming services, intimate contact services, etc."
Kulbak's point was, "Combing hair? Combing human hair?"
"Hahaha, no, it's humans who come to help comb the sheep."
Seeing that Kulbak was still a little confused, Mingyue was not in a hurry. She extended an invitation, "Let's go, come to my hotel first and you will know."
Kulbak suddenly remembered the food they had eaten together that day, "Um, hot pot..."
Mingyue smiled and said, "You are very lucky. We are having hot pot tonight. You are welcome to join us."
In this way, Kulbak followed Mingyue and Alros back to the ground. He gave 10 cattle and sheep to Mingyue, saying that this was his food allowance.
Mingyue collected it, and the mutton could be used to make mutton hotpot.
She asked Alros to take Kulback around for a walk while she went to the kitchen to start preparing.
When they first arrived at Yun Island, Kulbak had just stuffed the captured cattle and sheep into the bag. When he left, he was worried that Mingyue would not know how to take care of the cattle and sheep, so he took care of them as well.
Mingyue selected a batch of fresh lamb ribs from the mutton. Lamb ribs are the spine of the sheep with a lot of meat on them.
Some people particularly like this so-called "meat close to the bone", thinking that it tastes more delicious.
She cleaned the lamb ribs and blanched them in a pot.
Prepare onions, coriander, celery, chili peppers, garlic and ginger, chop them slightly, add oil to the pot, and put the prepared ingredients in to boil the oil.
At this time, the water in the pot was boiling, and Craig helped to skim off the foam floating on the soup. The lamb this time was very fresh, so there was not much blood foam.
Mingyue waited until the ingredients in the oil were burnt, then fished out the dry ingredients and added peppercorns, star anise, fennel, cinnamon and other spices to stir-fry. She wanted to eat spicy mutton hotpot this time, so she also added some chili powder, stir-fried it, and then added soy sauce and bean paste.
Add the fried ingredients and the ingredients that were previously fished out into the soup pot, and then just leave it to time.
The soup base is slowly simmered in a large pot, gradually emitting a rich aroma that makes people salivate.
Mingyue took out two pieces of lamb ribs and gave one to Craig, asking him to check if there was anything missing.
Craig is really talented in cooking. His sense of smell and taste are very sensitive. Sometimes he can guess what ingredients are in a dish just by smelling it, so Mingyue began to train him and let him judge whether the taste of the dishes is up to standard.
Craig tasted it and said, "It's not quite right."
"Then what should we add?" Mingyue looked at Craig encouragingly.
Craig said tentatively, "I think we should add some hot pot base?"
Mingyue nodded, "Add it, and try again after adding it."
Craig cut a piece of hot pot base and threw it into the pot, stirring it evenly until the base was completely dissolved. Then he scooped out some soup to taste it. He nodded, then took a new spoon and scooped some soup for Mingyue to taste.
Under Craig's somewhat nervous gaze, Mingyue tasted the seasoned sauce soup and gave a thumbs-up, "Full marks!"
She felt that Craig was simply a chosen chef, and even under her casual teaching method, he was still making rapid progress.
Craig exhaled and laughed happily.
Now just put the lamb ribs aside and simmer them, Mingyue and Craig start preparing other soup bases.
